International Standard Version

1A prayer of David. Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

1LORD, listen and answer me, for I am afflicted and needy.

2Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You.

2Protect me, for I am faithful; My God, deliver your servant who trusts in you.

3Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I call to You all day long.

3Have mercy on me Lord, for I call on you all day long.

4Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

4Your servant rejoices, because, Lord, I set my hope on you.

5For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.

5Indeed you, Lord, are kind and forgiving, overflowing with gracious love to everyone who calls on you.

6Hear my prayer, O LORD, and attend to my plea for mercy.

6Hear my prayer, LORD; attend to my prayer of supplication.

7In the day of my distress I call on You, because You answer me.

7In my troubled times I will call on you, for you will answer me.

8O Lord, there is none like You among the gods, nor any works like Yours.

8No one can compare with you among the gods, Lord; No one can accomplish your work.

9All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.

9All the nations that you have established will come and worship you, my Lord. They will honor your name.

10For You are great and perform wonders; You alone are God.

10For you are great, and you are doing awesome things; you alone are God.

11Teach me Your way, O LORD, that I may walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.

11Teach me your ways, LORD, that I may walk in your truth; let me wholeheartedly revere your name.

12I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever.

12I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole being; and I will honor your name continuously.

13For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol.

13For great is your gracious love to me; you've delivered me from the depths of Sheol.

14The arrogant rise against me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, with no regard for You.

14God, arrogant men rise up against me, while a company of ruthless individuals want to kill me. They do not have regard for you.

15But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.

15But you, Lord, are a compassionate God, merciful and patient, with unending gracious love and faithfulness.

16Turn to me and have mercy; grant Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your maidservant.

16Return to me and have mercy on me; clothe your servant with your strength and deliver the son of your maid servant.

17Show me a sign of Your goodness, that my enemies may see and be ashamed; for You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

17Show me a sign of your goodness, so that those who hate me will see it and be ashamed. For you, LORD, will help and comfort me.
